hello

[lone pond]

4000 series announced?

[static zinc]

No, they still have more 3000 series cards to launch

[lone pond]

was gonna say

how many more 3 series are getting launched?

[lyric plinth]

[static zinc]

https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4291977

pretty much what the local scalpers are charging for the same model after tax :/

[rustic pulsar]

link please lmao

[late haven]

i heard that fsr buffed the performance on amd gpus

should i get the 6700xt instead of the 3070

i couldnt care less about ray tracing

[formal carbon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLyAtjpD8wE

is this good

pls verify lol

[toxic sinew]

No

[lyric plinth]

if I find it again lmfao its on walmarts marketplace in canada

[vital oriole]

that's bad

just buy abs prebuilt

it's on wegg

[keen nacelle]

Idk I think 3070 is still better, but don't quote me on that

Hell I'd go for a 3060 ti over a 6700xt, and idc about rtx

[keen nacelle]

I'm hoping for a 3080 super, other than that idk

[hot folio]

If you want the AMD equivalent get the 6800 non xt, 6700xt is equivalent to the 3060ti

[heady turtle]

Tbf there aren't any abs prebuilts at 500$

[vital oriole]

tru

but like, add like 100 or so you can get more

[heady turtle]

950 is the lowest 1650 abs btw, rest are hp or something

[vital oriole]

damn

a few days i saw one for like 699 or something

[heady turtle]

Rip

[vital oriole]

it was on sale tho

i did see about 950 non sale tag

[heady turtle]

:'(

[vital oriole]

no e-begging

[twin niche]

There’s some 3080s in the shuffle today @pearl pewter

[vital oriole]

i doubt he's looking to buy judging by his name lmao

[crisp ocean]

Best Buy hasn’t dropped in ages

[twin niche]

Compared to a strictly PC-focused retailer like Microcenter they probably don’t get nearly the same type of supply

[vital pivot]

So if you are wondering if the EVGA queue works.

I just got notified that the 3090 Kingpin with hybrid cooling is available for me to purchase.

[crisp ocean]

It’s been 3 weeks

[late haven]

how much should i pay for a 2080 super when prices are normal

[heady turtle]

Wdym by normal? But I'd happily pay 500$ for it give or take, as it's a bit worse than the 3070

[late haven]

how bout a 2070 super

[heady turtle]

Idk like 400$ but it depends if this is before or after 40 series/potential 30 super series

[green harness]

Damn. You buying it?

I got a 3080Ti XC3 out of the queue just a week ago or so

[vital pivot]

Looks at the floor.

Me too

You buy the warranty?

[green harness]

I upped it to 5 years yeah

[vital pivot]

Same

[green harness]

30 bucks for two more years seemed reasonable. Ten years seems like it's way more than I'd need

[vital pivot]

So about my 3080ti FTW3 ultra.

[green harness]

I just wish the xc3 had dual bios

[vital pivot]

I just sold it for my cost to my little brother.

And I picked up the 3090 Kingpin Hybrid.

[green harness]

That's a heck of a lot of gpu

[vital pivot]

Yeah I know.

Honestly. I only did it for my brother as he has been trying to get one for ages

[heady turtle]

It doesn't? Sad...

[green harness]

Yeah part of the reason I bought my 80Ti was so I could pass an 80 on to my brother

[green harness]

None of the XC3 line do from what I understand. I did get it for under FE MSRP though

Thx

[heady turtle]

Damm nice

[agile chasm]

I just got selected in Shuffle to purchase the MSI 3070Ti for $979.99. Worth the price? I have a GTX 1060 6GB atm.

[hot folio]

Is it in a bundle?

[agile chasm]

Nope. Just the card somehow.

[heady turtle]

No you could get a 3080 for that price pretty much

[hot folio]

Hmm personally I wouldn’t buy it BUT, it would be a big upgrade over your current card and this is probably your only chance for a card in the near future

But yeah what Pato said, you could get a 3080 for that price

[heady turtle]

I would wait considering 1060 6gb

[hot folio]

1060 is still a solid card

[agile chasm]

Yeah, that's the situation. I've been trying to get a card since the original wave of 30 series cards released.

[hot folio]

Are you by a microcenter?

[heady turtle]

I mean can you live with playing low 1080p instead of mid-high 1080p/1440p?

[agile chasm]

Nope. stuck in the dead middle of Arkansas lol

[heady turtle]

For the moment

[agile chasm]

I definitely could. Probably will pass on it but man it's tempting.

[cerulean rover]

I mean, it's not a horrible deal

It's usable if you really want to get a card, but it is quite high

[agile chasm]

Isn't the 3070 ti essentially comparable to the 3080?

[cerulean rover]

A bit below

[hot folio]

Not as bad as a 6700xt for 1k

[cerulean rover]

yea amd aib card pricing suck

[hot folio]

Yep

Yet I still bought one

Not my smartest decision

[cerulean rover]

:p

[hot folio]

One hell of a card at least

But if you really want that 3070ti I’d say go for it @agile chasm

[agile chasm]

Ahhh!! Gosh dang, um. QuadPay is convincing me...

[cerulean rover]

I mean, the usual advice on financing is that if you need financing, you shouldn't buy it xD

[hot folio]

^^

Interest ain’t worth it

[agile chasm]

Oh I don't need financing but paying over a longer period of time is usually better than a huge lump sum once.

[hot folio]

True

[agile chasm]

Plus QuadPay is interest-free

[cerulean rover]

It's still the same strain on finances, usually not a good idea to stress your future finances more than you have to, but eh

[agile chasm]

Good point. Some people who can't plan ahead shouldn't do it

[hot folio]

Also things come up that you can’t plan for

[heady turtle]

Way closer to the 3070 + 5fps or so

If you cannot afford to buy it twice, don't, you can't afford to buy it (unless it's a need)

[agile chasm]

Oh well that's unfortunate. QuadPay doesn't work for orders above $150 lol

[vital pivot]

Bestbuy is dropping

[heady turtle]

Yo fallen like 2 hours before a drop

Lol

[crisp ocean]

Source?

[heady turtle]

@crisp ocean

[crisp ocean]

Yo will it refresh

[cerulean rover]

looks like there was a bb drop a bit ago

[crisp ocean]

Does the app work well

[turbid stream]

i have a question is rtx 3060 laptop good at rendering
?

[hot folio]

Not really

Well it’ll do the job

Also rendering is also cpu intensive

[turbid stream]

ok ty

[vital pivot]

Round2 started at best buy

Refresh those websites boys.

[heady turtle]

@sterile parcel @crisp ocean youre shot to try again

[crisp ocean]

No round 2

Wait rip

[heady turtle]

[hollow raptor]

Drop today was so garbageeee

[haughty ginkgo]

same here. No stores in the area had stock, unless they lied.

[warped ravine]

A 12 GB 3060 would be decent for GPU rendering via Redshift3D, Arnold etc. Dont always have to render on cpu.

[static zinc]

its a better card for that than gaming imo

[hollow raptor]

I had the 3070 on both drops and bbuy decided i don’t deserve it smh

[brave violet]

@hollow raptor Did you purchased it, or put it on cart?

[hollow raptor]

Cart->waiting for stock->add to cart showed up and boom out of stock

It literally said “waiting for available stock” and when it was, it was like nah jk

[brave violet]

ohh

ya, you lost it

[hollow raptor]

Yeah i was sad

[brave violet]

@low hinge I know what you mean, since It happened to me today as well. I think is was a small drop. Maybe tomorrow or in two weeks be a bigger drop. Also, I recommend having it bookmarked or have it on the page and be ready when they drop, and been sign in.

[late haven]

im selling my 2070 on ebay. whats the estimated amount im gonna get out of it

[vital pivot]

It depends on the model

Make and model

But honestly. Anywhere between 700-800 appears to be the average

Minus the 10% fee

[storm bone]

is a gtx 980 ti good for streaming making content and gaming?

[brave violet]

980Ti is good if you're planning to play 1080P maybe 60 or 122fps. IMO

[lone pond]

How much would a water cooled 2080ti sell for?

[deft scroll]

Hey yall! Does EVGA make good products?

[cerulean rover]

depends more on the model than the company

[brave violet]

yes @deft scroll One of the best of service and warranty. Also, some special things on owning a product. Like EVGA early access

[deft scroll]

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=12G-P5-3958-KR
I dont know how to tell if its a good 3080 ti model. But I have a chance at this one
I just dont know much about EVGA and if their products are reliable

[brave violet]

it's good, and it mostly MSRP

[deft scroll]

Also if the fact that its a hybrid. is hybrid a good thing? Or a downfall? XD

[brave violet]

If you got the space for the AIO then it be lower temps, possible higher frequency

[deft scroll]

oh sick. Lower is better

[brave violet]

But air be easier to clean and such

If you're doinga custom loop you can get a GPU waterblock

[deft scroll]

so yall would say they have good products though? I dont want to have to replace it in a year cause it decides to commit suicide

[brave violet]

EVGA is one of the best. I think it';s 3 year warantee

[late haven]

rog strix

[vital pivot]

@deft scroll I wouldn’t have this if I didn’t trust EVGA.

@late haven 500-800

[late haven]

how much should an evga 2080 ti get me

i have an arsenal full of gpus

[brave violet]

@late haven Selling them? \

[silent tinsel]

can anyone sell me gtx 750ti

[late haven]

specifically rule 9

[lone pond]

I haven’t seen a white strix in a minute

Anyone know the last time they dropped?

[late haven]

Whats the main purpose of titan gpus for

i heard quadros were for workstations

and gtx/rtx was for gaming

alr

whats better the a6000 or the rtx 8000

[fossil talon]

A6000 I'm pretty sure

But nearly impossible to get

Well without industry connection

Oh nvm, I could get one in Canada

[normal hawk]

Can order one on amazon

[hot folio]

It’s a laptop 3060

About 10-15% weaker than the normal 3060, which isn’t that strong in the first place

[normal hawk]

Laptop 2070 is better than the laptop 3060. It's more for replacing the 1660's i suppose. Although priced a little higher

[vital oriole]

uh

no?

1660 replacement is more 3050ti tbh

and 3060 mobile is like not that behind 2070 super tbh, talking about max-q compared to max-q

[keen nacelle]

2070 super max q is similar to regular 2070, the mobile 3060 doesn't have an equivelant because there's different versions, rated by watts

Unless that's just the 70 and 80

Also 3050 ti I thought is similar to the 2060?

Apparently 3050 ti is similar to a mobile 2060

Hey anyone know what the norm price was for rtx 20 series? I just want to be able to use the nvidia broadcast tools in my first pc

[lone pond]

Which card

[neat burrow]

I guess the 2060 for now

[heady turtle]

Norm price was 350 ish

[vital pivot]

The 2080ti was priced similarly to the 3080ti

[neat burrow]

Sheeeeeesh would you rather go $500 on a 2060 or just hold out and get lucky on the 30s

[heady turtle]

What you have rn?

[neat burrow]

Just a tower 🤣😂🥲

[heady turtle]

Just the case ?

Imho return the case and get an abs prebuilt

[neat burrow]

I have a laptop but it can’t handle the game + streaming I do like I want it to

[normal hawk]

Watch for sales. An ABS PC with a 3070 will be up for 1599 sometimes.

[hot folio]

Just get an ABS prebuilt yeah

[normal hawk]

Or you can get one with a 2060 for 1049$

Really depends on your budget tbh

[neat burrow]

Everyone keeps telling me that it’s better to build it myself (which I would Love to do) plus I can only grab some parts at a time myself unless we reach out community goal so I can buy most the part out right

[normal hawk]

Not right now. Prices suck

[neat burrow]

Cuz at most I can hit up affirm and get one of the bigger things around $400 and something else for $100 with my own money

[normal hawk]

Ah, I'd suggest waiting for now if you need more than a GPU. Save up a bit.

[heady turtle]

That was true before the shortage before prices went up and stock is rare

[neat burrow]

I’ll try everything is delaying everything

[heady turtle]

Theres no point buying part by part, new things come out that are better and cheaper

[neat burrow]

That is if I can grab the new stuff though

But can I get medium rare+ graphics while streaming?

[heady turtle]

Yes nvidia cards have a built in encoder, set obs to nvenc encoding tada like 0 to 1% fps lost maybe

[hot folio]

I’d you need financing, you can’t afford it

General rule of thumb

[neat burrow]

But again it’s mainly going to be community funded/whatever i make with my work. That’s how I’m going to save until everything balances back out

[cosmic bluff]

Any one have any links for a 3090 around 2200 or under?

[hot folio]

Why do you want a 3090?

@cosmic bluff

[cosmic bluff]

friend needs me to build a pc for him with one and i have everything set for him except gpu

and if he doesnt want the pc then ill use it for myself for random overkill fun

[hot folio]

If he’s just gaming he really doesn’t need a 3090

3080ti is the max he should go

3090 is more of a work gpu, it’s the Titan card of the 30 series

[cosmic bluff]

he does video editing and gaming and he also just wants the title owner of 3090

[hot folio]

Ehh I still wouldn’t spend money just to spend money

Because that’s what it is rn basically

[cosmic bluff]

yeah but hes going big boi status

[heady turtle]

You gotta try best buy, the newegg shuffle and micro center if you live near one

[livid idol]

https://tenor.com/view/itdepends-theanswer-ltt-gif-20874711

Where did you buy it, how long is the warranty, is there any obvious physical damage, what exactly is the problem, and more things go into that answer

[twin niche]

Best Buy restocks 3090s way more often than other 3000 series cards

[static zinc]

where do you see that?

[sterile cosmos]

is a gtx 1060 bad?

[twin niche]

I have a restocking Discord I’m a part of. They have stock checking automations and stuff

[static zinc]

same, and the numbers are all pretty much equal outside launch dates

thats why i was wondering

[heady turtle]

1060 3gb is meh, 1060 6gb is decent

[keen nacelle]

Yeah 3gb may struggle a bit with titles like warzone and cold war, 6gb can run them at a mix of low and medium prolly

[heady turtle]

Not even just the vram amounts, 1060 3gb and 6gb have different gpus

[keen nacelle]

yeah ik

i was using 3gb and 6gb as a difference

1060 6gb is similar to 1650s right?

3gb is slightly worse than 1650?

[rustic pulsar]

I just want a 3060 ti 😭

[keen nacelle]

if you have reddit check r/hardwareswap

you can find a trade up for your 3060 +cash most likely

tho youd prolly have more luck for a 3070/2080s/2080ti

since the miners want the 3060 tis

[heady turtle]

1060 3gb worse than 1050 ti

[keen nacelle]

wait what?

[heady turtle]

ill get bench for you in sec

[keen nacelle]

i got it

ik where to check

https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare/GeForce+GTX+1050+TivsGeForce+GTX+1060+3GB/3595vs3566 and https://technical.city/en/video/GeForce-GTX-1050-Ti-vs-GeForce-GTX-1060-3-GB both show 3gb is much better

[heady turtle]

Ohh nvm

Idk what the other 2 are

thought they were almost same perf

[rustic pulsar]

is $950 too much for 3060 ti?

[heady turtle]

yes

[heady turtle]

wouldnt go more than 750-800 for a 3070

[keen nacelle]

Yeah id say 850 for a 3070 for me since they seem to be going for 925 on r/hardwareswap a lot

[rustic pulsar]

Why are the gigabyte cards so expensive

saw it in stock for a few minutes

3060 ti drop on newegg (like 900 usd but still)

[keen nacelle]

I have never seen an in stock card on newegg that isn't already scalped

Except a 2060

[rustic pulsar]

not worth for 900 right?

[keen nacelle]

But I dont pay attention to it much, there's definitely decent prices they just go oos often

Def not

[rustic pulsar]

Even the shuffle prices are high

[keen nacelle]

3070s going for that on r/hardwareswap

You could prolly find a 2080s for like 750

[rustic pulsar]

2080 for 800

I might get it, is it better for ray tracing then a 3060?

[heady turtle]

I wouldn't trust a newegg "drop" all official newegg cards are through shuffle or abs prebuilt or the new system builder thing

[heady turtle]

I wouldn't bother going 2080 from a 3060

[rustic pulsar]

trye

true*

[heady turtle]

@rustic pulsar remember, a 2080 ti is sameish perf as 3070, so 2080 ti is dumbly overpriced

I mean yes it's better but not 800$ better

[keen nacelle]

Yeah lol I wouldn't trust that at all

[rustic pulsar]

I wanna get it just cause, I can always return it if its a scam

30 day return policy

[brave violet]

SHOPBLT is good @spice mulch

[spice mulch]

Are you sure, can i get a gpu within a few weeks?

[livid idol]

I've seen some people order GPUs on there that took 1-2 months to ship, some people canceled because of it. Typical retailer that's selling things before they have it in stock but not labeling it as a pre-sale.

You'll (probably) get a GPU, eventually

[spice mulch]

Why does it say 1-7 days

[livid idol]

Where does it say that? This is what I see in the fine print

[brave violet]

I'm doubtful that be in a few weeks

[spice mulch]

oh i must of seen it somewhere else

[heady turtle]

wth is this lol

[rustic pulsar]

dont worry about it

just a 3070

nothing fishy going on here 😏

[heady turtle]

Lmao

[rustic pulsar]

I kinda wanna buy it just cause, its 40 bucks and 30 day return for refund

[livid idol]

Possibly a bot troll? That would only get bought by really dumb bots though that don't have minimum price set

[rustic pulsar]

should I do it

[livid idol]

If you're ok with never seeing that money again sure

[rustic pulsar]

but the 30 day refund

[livid idol]

No telling what they'll actually send you, and there's a restock fee.

[rustic pulsar]

I have to pay to refund a product I didnt get?

[livid idol]

They'll probably avoid paying out the refund because you're "not sending back the item they sent you"

And yes they state a 15% restock fee

They probably send like a pair of sunglasses

Saw someone on Youtube do that and that's what they got

[raw spear]

Why would a person have multiple gpu’s? Except for mining

Like why do I see some people with 2 gpu’s in their gaming system

[livid idol]

Depending on what GPUs they are and how old they are the second GPU can be used for SLI/Crossfire, a dedicated encoder, a physics processor, and plenty of production apps can use multiple GPUs to speed up processing

It'd be fairly common for streamers in the gaming world

[raw spear]

What is SLI/crossfire

[livid idol]

Linking 2 GPUs together to use them like a single GPU

SLI is Nvidia, Crossfire is AMD

[raw spear]

Also I really don’t see many streamers with multiple GPUS, rather more PC’s in general

[raw spear]

Sounds cool! If I wanted to, could I SLI 2 3080’s?

[livid idol]

3000 series restricts SLI to the 3090 only

[raw spear]

Oh

[livid idol]

2000 and older works for some mid-high GPU models

[raw spear]

What are the odds to winning a shuffle? I’ve entered in about 25 by now

[livid idol]

You could SLI 2x 2080s and theoretically exceed a 3090 in performance, but the game has to support it

[raw spear]

Oh ok

[livid idol]

I entered about 60 shuffles before I won a 3090

[raw spear]

Uhh did you buy it

[livid idol]

I also won a 5800X but CPUs aren't as hard to get

Yeah I bought it

And modded it

[raw spear]

Wow, I am planning on getting a 3080 if possible

But I already bought a 10900k

[livid idol]

Nice, 10900k is a very solid choice and a 3080 is way better value than the 3090. 3080 ti wouldn't be too bad also.

[raw spear]

I would get a ti but it’s like 500 more

Is the performance worth that difference?

[livid idol]

Depends where you look what the price is, on the resell market the ti isn't much more

[raw spear]

Resell? Uhh

Like eBay?

[livid idol]

The 3080 ti is almost as much performance as the 3090 and has less memory (you don't need that much anyway)
And yes like ebay, craigslist, facebook market, etc

You can sometimes find good deals locally on offerup

[raw spear]

Mostly at scalped price, should I trust used gpu’s?

[livid idol]

Used are fine if you can accept that you probably won't have a warranty. Even if it was used for mining the life won't be reduced by any meaningful amount.

[raw spear]

Thank you, I’ll continue trying the shuffle until I get a gpu

I don’t really like buying used stuff as I don’t trust it as much

[livid idol]

Sounds good. I wish you luck.

[brave violet]

I did get selected last week fora gigabyte 3090 and a lga 1200 MOBO. It was my 10-20 entry I think

[fossil talon]

Sending here as well, this is the ideal dream now

[livid idol]

Only one of those is powered

[fossil talon]

When the PSU is only 850W 😭

I will do that given I get my hands on a 3080FE (working on it, will trade once my BO for a FTW3 3080 is fulfilled or one of my other 3080 BOs)

[livid idol]

I'd put those on a riser too if I did that so they have better airflow

[fossil talon]

I'd put more fans pulling air from the top

Well given my cooler clearance

[livid idol]

Sure with the passthrough cooling some air will get through but you're still restricted by a glass panel, unless you have a side fan blowing directly on them.

[fossil talon]

True

[livid idol]

If you rotate it 90 degrees you can get airflow between them better

[fossil talon]

Sigh there's no prebuilt 2 GPU vertical mounts yet

Well probably since not many cases can support it

[livid idol]

If you're doing a multi gpu system like that you can afford more exotic options

[fossil talon]

Ye

Of course

Custom laser cutting

I'd just stack them like a normal person 😅

[livid idol]

Open air bench with a mining riser

You can stick the two larger GPUs on the mining riser and leave the dinky one on the board directly

If I had that kind of money I'd go full steampunk on that build and use copper plumbing with clear blocks. My personal fantasy.

[fossil talon]

Ahhhhhh

I love to do a galactic custom build with silver thermal fluid

[livid idol]

There needs to be something we can use to make our dream custom builds in a virtual way. Something like PC building simulator but with more customization.

[fossil talon]

Time to ask some CS friends to take on a "business project"

Yea just imagine custom waterlooping a PC building sim and such

[livid idol]

Maybe there's mods possible for PC build sim... I'll look into that

Yeah there's mods but it's almost all just wallpapers lol

[naive smelt]

Should I get this or get evga ftw3 ultra gaming

https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-rtx-3070-ti-ventus-3x-8g-oc/p/N82E16814137662?Item=9SIAPBUF0W8445&Description=rtx 3070&cm_re=rtx_3070-_-9SIAPBUF0W8445-_-Product&cm_sp=SP-_-657163-_-0-_-2-_-9SIAPBUF0W8445-_-rtx 3070-_-3070|rtx-_-11

[keen nacelle]

Whichever you can get at a good price

Thats lower than ebay ig

Oh nvm

160$ shipping lmfao

[naive smelt]

i l l p a y

[pearl pewter]

3070 ti for 1k

🙅‍♂️

Not even 3080 at msrp is 1k

[brave violet]

if your patient you can get a 3080 for msrp @pearl pewter

[pearl pewter]

Best Buy coming thru 👴🏼🙏

[brave violet]

BB, newegg shuffle, amazon or even walmart

[hot folio]

I love how on Newegg rn there’s a promo deal of a 5900x for $550 meanwhile that’s just MSRP

[heady turtle]

[normal hawk]

Would it be worth it just getting a 6900xt for 1700$ and using the 3080 for my workstation since it's available at that price or nah?

[normal hawk]

Jealous

[heady turtle]

Imo no more than 1500 for 6900xt but i mean it's up to you i suppose

[normal hawk]

I'll probably go for it. Maybe one with a hydro block. 🤷‍♂️

2,269 is the cost of the gigabyte one with a hydro block. Same as the cost of most 3090's or cheaper.

[heady turtle]

Ooof not for a 6900xt

[normal hawk]

😭

[hot folio]

Most I would spent for a 6900xt is 1.6k

[rustic pulsar]

Is there a shuffle today? I got an email but nothing on the website

[vital pivot]

It’s broke

[normal hawk]

Makes me sad

[weak flower]

Does anyone know what the 3080 super is rumored to cost?

[rustic pulsar]

msrp probably around $700 - $ 1200 USD, likely closer to 1000,

[weak flower]

Oof

Maybe I will just stick with the 3080 lol

[rustic pulsar]

But in the current market 😂 good luck getting one

[weak flower]

I got one in cart about 7 times last week.

Unfortunately, it got ripped out when I was checking out.

[rustic pulsar]

Well think about it, performance wise, it should be between a 3080 and 3080 ti

so the price should be between the 2

[weak flower]

I managed to get a 5900x in January though. 🤷‍♂️ Anything is possible.

I was just hoping it would be closer to 800.

[rustic pulsar]

it will likely be 900-1100, thats a good range I think, so start saving

[weak flower]

yeah, lol

[heady turtle]

Imo they won't make one, why bother innovating when every single unit they sell doesn't stay on shelves for longer than a day

[weak flower]

I thought they were confirmed?

[heady turtle]

No

[weak flower]

Ohh

[heady turtle]

Just presumption

[sterile cosmos]

I was thinkin of getting a prebuilt pc with an rtx 2060

[heady turtle]

Which one?

[keen nacelle]

I was thinking they'd make one, since they said the 3080 ti was supposed to close the gap between 3080 and 3090, but it's basically a lower vram 3090

[heady turtle]

Yeah but ti and super are completely different

[keen nacelle]

Ik

But I'm hoping the 3080 super would actually be the between of a 3080 and 90

[heady turtle]

I still doubt they will make super, also 3080 to 3080 ti isn't a noticeable jump in fps etc

[crude hemlock]

Hey there, im trying to build a gaming pc with around a 1600 budget, any suggestions on what the main features i should focus on should be

[heady turtle]

I would get this if you can go extra,https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali532/p/N82E16883360137?itemPosition=1-12&exactIndex=0, this if you can't spend more than 1600 https://www.newegg.com/abs-ala224/p/N82E16883360021?itemPosition=1-12&exactIndex=0 or https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali497/p/N82E16883360092?itemPosition=1-12&exactIndex=0 if you wanna save more money imo

[hot folio]

What Pato said^^^

[crude hemlock]

i want to custom build it tho

[hot folio]

You ain’t doing it at that price range in this current market

[crude hemlock]

oof

well ty for the pc suggestion

[heady turtle]

You could but you'll get better value for prebuilts at that price atm

[keen nacelle]

This last one is prolly the best in stock 3060 pc I've seen for a good price, def better value than the 3060 ti. I'd go with the third or the first imo

[crude hemlock]

I just dont like the fact that its intel instead of ryzen

[hot folio]

At budget intel kills ryzen this current gen

[crude hemlock]

so intel is better

?

[hot folio]

At budget yes

[crude hemlock]

can it handle like intense games

[hot folio]

That’s mostly the GPU’s job

[crude hemlock]

3070 is a good gpu right

?

[heady turtle]

Not really 3060 ti, is almost 3070 perf

[crude hemlock]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali532/p/N82E16883360137?itemPosition=1-12&exactIndex=0 im looking at this suggestion rn

[pearl pewter]

At msrp

[heady turtle]

It's not, intel 10th gen is a bit better than ryzen 3000 but it's not that better as it's over budget too lol, also ryzen 5000 beats intel anyway soo

[heady turtle]

Nice pc but tis 100 over your budget ¯_(ツ)_/¯ it is worth the extra 100 imo but if you cant afford it then fo with a diff option

[crude hemlock]

i can go 100 over

[sterile cosmos]

ABS master gaming

[heady turtle]

Ehhh 3070 is good value even at 750-800$ 3070 is a bit better than a 2080 ti

[crude hemlock]

now be real with me, is there any cons with this pc?

[static zinc]

bestbuy has a similar build for the same price in stock rn too

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-rog-gaming-desktop-intel-core-i7-11700f-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3070-1tb-hdd-512gb-ssd/6455823.p?ref=8575135&loc=efae3802e65311ebb42dfae05afd5f940INT&acampID=efae3802e65311ebb42dfae05afd5f940INT&skuId=6455823

[crude hemlock]

im looking at reviews and one of them says the cpu cooling isnt very good

[heady turtle]

Can you link it, there's a good few abs 2060 builds

[pearl pewter]

That already at the 3080 range 😳

[heady turtle]

11700 gets geat by 10700 usually

[crude hemlock]

would this affect my pc?

[heady turtle]

Lmao not really, 800$ and above yeah , but rare but 700-750 anyway

[sterile cosmos]

https://c1.neweggimages.com/ProductImageCompressAll300/83-360-129-04.jpg

[tribal raft]

Price????

[heady turtle]

For which pc? The 10700k and 3070? It's got a decent 280mm aio it's goos yeah

[heady turtle]

Can you link it again you linked the image instead of the page

[static zinc]

@tribal raft 1600 retail but you can use points/cc offers to get it lower possibly

[tribal raft]

Nope

To much

[sterile cosmos]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali524/p/N82E16883360129?Item=N82E16883360129

i found an rtx 2060 for 598

its on newegg

if anyone wants it

idk

[crude hemlock]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali532/p/83-360-137 where does it say the manufacturer

also memory is ram right?

[static zinc]

abs is the builder

[heady turtle]

Nice prebuilt 👍

[heady turtle]

Ye

[heady turtle]

Abs is neweggs brand so it's basically newegg

[crude hemlock]

ok so

what is the diff b/t a rtx 3070 and a rtx 3070 ti?

[lament stag]

#graphics-cards message

[crude hemlock]

ty

so ti's are better

[heady turtle]

Nothing really, a couple fps

[crude hemlock]

alr

does anyone know if there are rtx graphics cards available

all of them are sold out

[heady turtle]

That's very generous i would say 0-4% extra

[heady turtle]

Nope that's why i recommended the prebuilts

[crude hemlock]

i dont want the prebuilt

does it matter what rtx i get

there all rlly good arent they

[heady turtle]

Youre other options are stalk micro center and best buy(online) and the Newegg shuffle for months to buy a gpu at least 200$ over the msrp

[crude hemlock]

ugh

[heady turtle]

No rtx 3060 is fine but the 3060 ti is way better, 3070 is about 10% better than 3060 ti, 3070 is like up to 4ish% better, 3080 is like 20ish% better than 3070, 3080 ti and 3090 are equal in gaming

[crude hemlock]

so what should i try getting

[heady turtle]

For 1600ish 3060 ti(but they're about as rare as a unicorn or a 3070, but you could just buy the 10700k prebuilt rn lol

[normal hawk]

Depending on the prebuilt you could get a good deal

[heady turtle]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali532/p/N82E16883360137?itemPosition=1-12&exactIndex=7 was recommending this

[hot folio]

Just buy the prebuilt, no point in building your own rn if you have a budget of 1600

[livid idol]

Even if you get crap parts out of a prebuilt most of them can be swapped
Unless you buy Dell. Don't buy Dell.

So if that "16gb of fast DDR4 memory" ends up being 2333 speed you can get faster for not much money

[normal hawk]

I suggested that one to a friend as well

I reserved a copy of the steamdeck 😤

[heady turtle]

It's v good value, nice evga clc 280mm too

[livid idol]

Honestly that's not a terrible option, the steamdeck. It's got a custom zen 2 + rdna 2 APU design and other decent specs

[crude hemlock]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali532/p/83-360-137 anyone know when the sale on this ends?

[heady turtle]

Doesn't seem to say

[crude hemlock]

thats what im concerned abt

[heady turtle]

Why lol

[crude hemlock]

cause i dont want it to be offsale by the time i wanna buy it

duh

[normal hawk]

There are sales pretty often for abs PC's

[keen nacelle]

Wasn't just talking about the gpu, pc overall is better value

[loud dune]

Would a 1650 super oc 4gb be good

[heady turtle]

Imo it's worth the extra for 10700k and 280mm evga clc aio and 3070 over 3060

[fringe garnet]

Just got my 6700XT in the mail this morning. Its been a year since I set out to get a gpu and the quest has come to an end.

[heady turtle]

Niceee

[livid idol]

Yeah that's almost as good as the 1060 6gb. Don't pay much for it though. The original retail price was $160.

[loud dune]

Can you give me the full name of the 1060 6gb

[heady turtle]

It's just gtx 1060 6gb

[spice mulch]

Hey guys I need some help, I'm getting a EVGA 3060 XC from a guy off of craigslist and we're meeting up is there a way without a test system that I can tell it's not a fake 3060?

[static zinc]

@spice mulch id open the box first off and just check it

how much are they asking?

[spice mulch]

510

[heady turtle]

Not really apart from checking the labels etc

[hot folio]

It’s not worth it for that price

[spice mulch]

Have you seen any legit cards for 400?

[heady turtle]

Yeah

[hot folio]

Yep

[heady turtle]

3060s regularly go for 400ish

[static zinc]

i got the same model for $350 and even at that price i dont feel like its worth for a 1080p gaming card

[spice mulch]

Where? In stock can I get one now

@heady turtle @static zinc

[hot folio]

Bit of luck and patience at Best Buy, micro center and occasionally newegg shuffle

[heady turtle]

Nah just in shuffle, drops and evga queue

[spice mulch]

Thats up to chance, not worth my time

[hot folio]

For $510 you could try to get a 6700xt off of AMD Direct

[spice mulch]

I'm so unlucky I will never win the chance

[hot folio]

It ain’t a chance, it’s just about refreshing it in time

It’s not like a lottery

[spice mulch]

I think it's worth the little extra to upgrade from a Radeon RX 570

[spice mulch]

Kinda sounds like a raffle to win the chance to buy a gpu

[static zinc]

@spice mulch i got mine on evga.com

ive had the best luck with bestbuy tho

[spice mulch]

Yes but the chance that I refresh at the right time is so slim

[brave violet]

I was selected at Shuffle once. BB few times had a card, and was unable to find a store. One time at walmart

[hot folio]

AMD Direct isn’t really a raffle, you’re just going against bots

[spice mulch]

Like I said earlier, The chance that I press the button at the right time against computer programs are so slim

[hot folio]

True

I know people who got cards off of it tho so it ain’t that low chances

[velvet mauve]

does anyone know where I can get a cheapish 3060 ti or 3060 or 2070 super

[spice mulch]

I have not seen a 3060 ti drop from best buy for like a month

[velvet mauve]

do you know because I have been looking at meracari and havent seen anything

[leaden birch]

It’s not a myth guys, I won the shuffle lol

[livid idol]

Nice! What did you get?

[leaden birch]

MSI 3080Ti

[livid idol]

Ooh not bad at all

[leaden birch]

I wanted a 3080, but was singing up for 3070-3080Ti couldn’t believe it when I go the notification, final piece to my first ever PC build lol

[velvet mauve]

anyone have an Idea where i can get a fair priced gpu

[hot folio]

Best Buy

[livid idol]

Start with that, and when that fails find a time machine

[velvet mauve]

Ill check there thanks

lol

[brave violet]

Best buy usually on Thrusdays every two weeks

or tuesdays. So far is been really random @spice mulch

[heady turtle]

510 from rx 570 to a 3060 is not worth it, 500 is only worth if you're desperate for a gpu, just overclock your rx 570 for a bit of extra perf

[heady turtle]

You can try r/hwswap if you're in NA

[velvet mauve]

I would go to best buy for a gpu instead of online but they have been out of stock for almost 3 months

[brave violet]

BB does drops on Thursdays or Tuesdays every two weeks random times. I recommend finding a discord for drops. Only online, and is store puck ups no shipping

[velvet mauve]

ok thanks

[livid idol]

Best Buy isn't stocking GPUs in store any more. Occasionally they'll have 1 or 2 but those are returns.

Microcenter is a good bet though. They're only doing in store sales.

[solemn panther]

i went to bb

all gpus gone

even gt710s

all u see now is everything else that isnt a GPU

[livid idol]

Yeah a while back I saw a GT 1030 at my local store but that was it

[solemn panther]

soon

this will be over

we made it this far already

[livid idol]

How soon is soon? Soon can't come soon enough

[solemn panther]

ha

idk no one can predict the future accurately

less than 2 years imo

[livid idol]

Probably. It'll likely impact the 4000 series launch some but not as much. Hopefully by then they've rush-completed at least a couple of the fabs they're building.

[solemn panther]

maybe

[lapis heath]

What’s a good starter GPU that’s not impossible to get

[livid idol]

Whatever GPU you can find tbh
If you're near a microcenter you can go in and they usually have AMD GPUs in stock

[rustic pulsar]

Is shopBLT good? Scam?

[lapis heath]

So 2060 is fine then? Just to start and then eventually try to upgrade

[livid idol]

2060 is good

ShopBLT is legit

[leaden birch]

Matt Swider is a good guy to follow for drops too

[rustic pulsar]

650 usd for a 3060 ti too much?

[livid idol]

It's a bit high but not quite scalper level. Check the availability to see if you're not the 3000th person in line though.

[leaden birch]

And always enter the shuffle I know it’s dishearting to never win but it’s free to enter and finally paid off for me after 4 months

[rustic pulsar]

325th

[rustic pulsar]

I won 3 times in 4 weeks lol

[livid idol]

You'll be waiting about 1-2 months probably that far back in line

[rustic pulsar]

what about #2 for 600 USD *

[livid idol]

#2 what? in line? That would be a pretty short wait.

[rustic pulsar]

I might do it

U sure shopBLT is legit?

[livid idol]

Yeah they've been around for a while

4/5 on trustpilot (mostly people salty about wait times dropped it from 4.5)

[rustic pulsar]

mind if I dm u the link, i dont want 100s of people getting in line lol

[livid idol]

Yeah I'll take a look

[leaden birch]

Damn that’s insane lol I was starting to lose hope lol

[rustic pulsar]

just enter everyday, but only go for the things u will buy, i made that mistake lol

And ordered, praying its legit

[leaden birch]

Yea I never entered the high priced ones like the 3090s or the ones with monitors which I’m sure have less people entering so a higher chance to win

[tall tendon]

You saying you won the shuffle 3 times?

Quit cappin

[twin niche]

I’ve won once but only entered twice

[rustic pulsar]

do u want me to send u pics

[keen nacelle]

I entered nearly 40 times

Didn't win once

I was entering to sell the card at cost to someone who was building a pc

Better to go to a gamer than a miner/scalper

But still 40 times

[rustic pulsar]

What power connector does 3060ti use? nvidia site says "1x PCIe 8-pin
(adapter to 1x 12-pin included)" does that mean I can just use an 8 pin

[livid idol]

If you get the FE version then it uses the adapter, OEM models just use an 8 pin

[keen nacelle]

I'm taking drivers ed in a month, and I've been looking for a used car for around 5k

My brother got a Ford escape last year for 5k with 45k miles on it

Was hoping to find a decent car for the same price but looks like I'm gonna have to wait

[rustic pulsar]

like I plug the 8 pin into the 12 pin?

but mostly the gamers

[livid idol]

You only get the 12 pin adapter with the FE model

The other models use a standard 8 pin

Auto industry got hit HARD

[keen nacelle]

Everywhere lmao

[rustic pulsar]

again, do I plug the 8 pin into the 12 pin?, or do I plug the 12 pin into my psu?

[livid idol]

Neither

You don't get the 12 pin

Unless you have the FE

[keen nacelle]

Craigslist, market place, shops, anywhere I could think of

[livid idol]

The one we talked about earlier was not a FE

[keen nacelle]

Tho I won't really need a car until college ig, I don't get out a lot lmao

What's the site?

Cool thanks

[rustic pulsar]

ok, thats the one i ordered so cool

[livid idol]

Yeah it's too bad the US is pushing for more electric cars and such right as the demand exceeds the possible supply on the microchips overall

Lets just go back to the 60s when there were no computers in cars

And they weighed twice as much, hardly took damage because it was all steel instead of fiberglass...

Oh and I guess they belched out tons of greenhouse gases too

[keen nacelle]

I live in a town of a state that doesn't really exist

Not sure if I can say the name of my state

[livid idol]

It's ok we can tell from your IP address... I mean... uh...

[keen nacelle]

Lmao

Rommy can you dm me the name of the site when you find the name?

[livid idol]

Yeah public transit in the US is garbage, just the way the auto makers like it

[keen nacelle]

Sick thanks

[livid idol]

Yep. At least I've seen more electric buses last time I was in LA but our local transit is still upgrading to CNG

[keen nacelle]

I dont even think public transit exists in my state

[livid idol]

It barely exists in my city, in the last 10 years I've seen the routes get cut in half

And it's probably cheaper to ride there too because more people use it

WAIT... dogs are allowed on the buses?!

And they need their own tickets?!?!

Price looks the same as here though

[tribal raft]

I’m moving there

[livid idol]

You'd never get our transit to allow dogs. Something something liability, you know.

[livid idol]

Always has been, always will

[lone hill]

GUYS

I DID IT

I HAVE A GPU

[livid idol]

Nice! What did you get?

[lone hill]

It’s an xfx rx 580 8gb

But I don’t care if it’s considered a little low end it’s a good graphics card

[livid idol]

That's still good enough for 1080p high in most games

[lone hill]

I got it from my grandmas prebuilt and but a legacy gpu in hers cus ya know cheap prebuilt company’s but still it’s not a crappy prebuilt gpu it’s a good one and I love it

I’m setting it up rn

[willow tartan]

Has anyone been able to connect their 3080Ti to the iCUE Corsair application? if you have, how were you able to customize the led light on that GPU? (asking incase somebody has figured out how to do this.)

[livid idol]

Gratz

[livid idol]

Compatibility varies by brand of the GPU

[willow tartan]

I see. I've tried searching if the 80Ti has been updated as a compatible GPU. But I guess not yet 😦

[livid idol]

It'll usually say what RGB software is compatible on the box for the GPU

For example, my Gigabyte GPU only allows me to use RGB Fusion

[willow tartan]

Oh wow. I didn't even think of that. Got too excited when I had to put that in my current RIG lol

And... the 80Ti Founders Edition doesn't have that 😆

[livid idol]

Oh, it's the FE? Lemme check it

[heady turtle]

I'm surprised your grandmas prebuilt had a rx 580 and an 8gb one at that lol

[lone hill]

It was before the gpu crash

But still for $850

[heady turtle]

The fe has no rgb as far as i know

[livid idol]

Precision X1 software

[heady turtle]

The fe's have rgb?

[livid idol]

Some

[heady turtle]

Still suprised she ended up with a gaming pc and not an office type pc lol nice

[heady turtle]

Ahhhhh i forgot the logo lit up lol

[livid idol]

The logo is just white, there's a small strip of LEDs by the fan

[lone hill]

Yeah I convinced her to get the one she got because she wanted to do photo and video editing

It’s cyber power pc branded

About a year later after she got it, it started boot looping so we sent it in and all they did was move the ram stick over one slot but it said on the receipt that the cpu mobo and mem were replaced

[heady turtle]

Ohh lol i didn't even see that

[heady turtle]

Lol

[lone hill]

Ikr

[willow tartan]

Cool Cool, I hope Precision X1 Software could be connected to Razer Synapse

I've seen the other FEs that have the similar led construct that were recognizable by iCUE, you can customize the logo's led as well

@livid idol is Precision X1 almost the same as how MSI Afterburner works?

[livid idol]

Yeah it's an overclocking tool too but should have RGB options too

[willow tartan]

Oh goody! I'll have to play around with it then. Thank you @livid idol 🙂

[willow tartan]

@livid idol it works! I guess I'll just have to stick with Precision X1 for now until iCUE recognizes the 80Ti FE

Thanks again! 🙂

[late haven]

can a wrong overclock permanently damage a gpu?

[cerulean rover]

It's possible if you push voltage too high and such

[late haven]

im too scared to change the voltage

i have 0 knowledge in overclocking whatsoever

i have a kingpin gpu but idk how to use its potential

[livid idol]

Ooh the KP, those are fun

Hybrid cooler?

[heady turtle]

The v/f curve is fine and pretty intuitive once you get the hang of it

[late haven]

yup

2080 ti

[rustic pulsar]

Just to put it on yalls radar, 3060 ti for 600 on shopBLT (backorder)

https://www.shopblt.com/item/gigabyte-gv-n306tgamingoc-pro-8gd-r3-3060ti-gaming-oc-graphics/gigmbd_gvn306tgamingocpro8gdr3.html#Availability

[livid idol]

Now that you have your place in line 😉

[halcyon ruin]

is a gtx 980 ti a Goff gpu for a starter?

[livid idol]

Yeah, it'll do 1080p high easy and possibly 1440p medium

[late haven]

wait if i put a kingpin bios on a regular 2080 ti will it be just like a kingpin or does the kingpin have special hardware???

[livid idol]

It'll have the power limits and default settings of the KP card. You'll want to make sure your card has the same number of power inputs (3x 8 pin iirc) and if you have a different arrangement of output ports some might be disabled.

[silent tinsel]

What is clock speed of GTX 750ti

[spare relic]

slow

[cerulean rover]

Reference runs at 1020mhz base, 1085mhz boost for core, 1350mhz for memory

[low patrol]

Whats a good price to get a 3060ti for

Lets not consider msrp

Since its unlikely that it’ll happen

Im saying around 450-500 euros?

[elder mesa]

under msrp, sales are nice.

[heady turtle]

450-600

450 would be lucky tho

[low patrol]

Yeah i can get that at my store

What about 3060?

[hot folio]

Not worth it

[heady turtle]

375-450(if you really need a card

[low patrol]

Okay thank you Pato

[low patrol]

Okay

So the 3060ti is the best card for its value

And how much Vram can it handle

[heady turtle]

Yeah but it's unicorn

[low patrol]

Unicorn?

[hot folio]

Hard to find

[heady turtle]

It's super duper rare

[heady turtle]

The 3060 has 16gb iirc but it's dumb, the 3060 ti has 8gb

[low patrol]

Aha, cause I’ve been told that the 3060 wont handle 16gb

[hot folio]

12Gb

[low patrol]

Does the 3060ti have other variants with more vram or should I go for 8?

[heady turtle]

Wasn't sure if it was 12 or 16gb

[hot folio]

6800 and above have 16

[heady turtle]

Stupid number a anyway lol

Ah

[hot folio]

3060 and 6700xt have 12

[heady turtle]

Nope just 1 variant

[hot folio]

No cards this gen have more than 1 variant vram wise

[low patrol]

Oh okay thanks

So 3060ti over 3070?

[heady turtle]

No, 3060 ti is about 10% less than a 3070, also 3070 way easier to find

[low patrol]

So 3070, alright

Cause I was wondering if the Ti versions always worth it

[hot folio]

Ti versions this gen are not worth it really

[heady turtle]

That depends on a card by card basis, 3070 ti is a 3070 with like a solid 4% fps for like 100 more (assuming msrp) it's fine if they're the same price/3070 ti cheaper

[heady turtle]

3080 ti for the top end gamers and 3060 ti is

[hot folio]

I thought the 3080ti is only like 10% more than the 3080?

For like $1200

MSRP

[heady turtle]

Well it is ish but it performs equal or in some case a tiny bit better than 3090

[heady turtle]

I meant like top top end

[hot folio]

https://tenor.com/view/nods-yes-not-wrong-its-true-story-valid-point-gif-14782869

[keen nacelle]

I think the 3060 ti is, assuming we're talking about msrp

[hot folio]

True I meant like the 3070ti and 3080ti

[upper otter]

Uh... Newegg?

You okay there?

[heady turtle]

It's a scam 3rd party seller

@upper otter newegg don't sell gpus directly, only through newegg shuffle atm

[upper otter]

Yeah that's what I thought

It would be way more profitable if they sold it at MSRP though

[heady turtle]

Well 1 they can't sell at msrp due to tarrifs being brought in, 2 board partners with better coolers etc have always charged 0-100 more than fe cards , 3 aibs and distributors seem to be scalping and 4 their so high in demand that they can sell above msrp

[upper otter]

I was referring to the scammer lmao

[heady turtle]

Ohh lol yeah

[hot folio]

That PNY card does not look as if it’s any good

[upper otter]

agreed

looks rather tacky

[hot folio]

Yeah and I mean cooling performance wise

[late haven]

is a 10850k overkill for a 2080 ti?

[heady turtle]

Pny seem low quality

[heady turtle]

No it's a nice match

[hot folio]

At least in GeForce cards, with Quadro I trust them with my life

[heady turtle]

That's fair yeah

[tribal raft]

I want to build a pc but I don’t know what will be the best video card under 300 that supports at LEAST 3 moniters

[heady turtle]

Ehhhhh most ppl would google or remember msrp as the launch for the og before msrp cards anyway imo

[heady turtle]

Honestly just get a prebuilt at that low of a budget

That's fair yes

[keen nacelle]

This is so tempting... 3060 ti + 50$ and whatever shipping is for a 3070 ti... https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap/comments/om5w44/usacah_new_evga_3070ti_w_3070/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

[tribal raft]

Kk

[keen nacelle]

You're more than welcome

Idk if I'd even be able to utilize it well

My only 1440p is 75hz and with a 3600 it would be a pretty bad pairing at 1080p

[keen nacelle]

Vega 8/11 graphics might be your best bet

Or find a pc with integrated that has a decent sized psu so you can add a gpu later on

[heady turtle]

@tribal raft what's your total system budget?

[keen nacelle]

Oh wait I read that wrong

You can get a 980 ti pretty easily for that, or I can find a pre built for you if you tell me your overall budget

[heady turtle]

Same but not gigabyte instead 😎

[keen nacelle]

Idk why gigabyte gets a bad reputation

My gaming oc pro is great

Lottery too which is cool

Half way between an average 60 ti and 70

Well tbf

[heady turtle]

:( sorry don't have a huge option in Ireland ;-;

[keen nacelle]

Eagle has awful cooling

[heady turtle]

Mainly cuz bad pads on g6x and no thermal pads to backplate

[keen nacelle]

Ah

Wait what vram does 60 ti have again?

Gddr5?

[heady turtle]

Gddr6

6x is just overclocked 6 basically

Gets toasty

[keen nacelle]

So outta curiosity

How bad is the pairing of a 3600 and 3070 ti

At 1080p

[heady turtle]

3070 ti is a very nice 1080p card, decent 1440p card

[keen nacelle]

I thought it was meant for 1440p?

[heady turtle]

If 3600 is enough depends on the game

[tribal raft]

1100

[heady turtle]

It's not meant for any specific res tbh

[heady turtle]

You live in the us?

[keen nacelle]

Meaning compared to other cards

[tribal raft]

Yes

[keen nacelle]

Oh that's pretty decent to work with

I'll take a look around

You gonna check abs on newegg pato?

[tribal raft]

Yes

[heady turtle]

@tribal raft https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali416-master/p/N82E16883102994R?itemPosition=1-12&exactIndex=1 if you dont mind open box

[keen nacelle]

I can check adorama and b&h

[heady turtle]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali524/p/N82E16883360129?itemPosition=1-12&exactIndex=3 if not get this

[heady turtle]

Aye aye

[keen nacelle]

Why are there so few builds with any 20 series other than a 2060?

I've seen every kind of 16 series

[tribal raft]

Maybe… I’ll think about it

[keen nacelle]

But few 2060s, 2070, etc builds

[heady turtle]

Cuz there's only 1650(super), 1660(super)(ti) that's 5 max cards, idk tho, probs sold out

[tribal raft]

I’m probably just going to get the Lenovo legion y-570

[heady turtle]

Can you link it?

[heady turtle]

I'm guessing there was more stock or something

[tribal raft]

https://www.newegg.com/black-lenovo-legion-y540-15irh-81sx0005us-n-a/p/N82E16834845343?Item=N82E16834845343&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-34-845-343-_-07172021

[keen nacelle]

Everything on adorama is on backorder

I tried a gaming laptop

I absolutely hated it

I would 100% reccomend a pc, but the market is pretty bad

Obviously

[tribal raft]

I would be able to have 2 extra moniters

Also

In college

There is no room for a pc lol

[keen nacelle]

Ah fair

[tribal raft]

Maybe in a couple years

[keen nacelle]

Personally I'm never buying an expensive laptop

Gaming laptop*

I'd rather buy an older used one that can run my games at low settings

Saw one with a 1070 for 300$ a few days ago

[tribal raft]

I have used my friends legion for Minecraft once to rate a build and it was holding 60fps with mid shaders

[keen nacelle]

I dont mean performance wise

[tribal raft]

WITH SCHOOL WIFI

Yeah

[keen nacelle]

Temps, the mouse pad thingy broke

Keyboard broke

It was supposed to be 2070s max p

Was max q

Just too many issues

It was the predator triton 400 or smthn like that

Mt brother got a similar one from omen for less and its so much better tho

[tribal raft]

I would get an external keyboard and and a mouse

[keen nacelle]

Still needed a cooling pad but much better

This is what my brother got https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08DRW2R3Z?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image

It was much cheaper tho

1350$, black Friday

This is what i got

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08CNLPDXV?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

But the description said it was max p

It wasnt

[heady turtle]

That is frankly a rip off of a laptop

[keen nacelle]

So how important is battery life?

@tribal raft idk if you care about used and idk if this is a good price https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap/comments/om6nth/usacoh_hp_omen_15_gaming_laptop_ryzen_4800h_gtx/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

[tribal raft]

I wouldn’t bring it many places so not that important

But I need a lot of storage for everything

[keen nacelle]

Perfect, I'll take a look then

Well you can always use an external

That's what I did when i had the laptop

2tb hdd and still use it with my pc after returning the laptop

[heady turtle]

https://www.newegg.com/aluminum-black-msi-gf-series-gf65-thin-10sdr-1273-gaming-entertainment/p/N82E16834155934 this would be a much better choice

[heady turtle]

That's meh ngl

[keen nacelle]

There used to be a 3060laptop for 999 on best buy in stock often

Ima check if it's still there

[heady turtle]

It would be fine new for that price but not 2nd hand

[keen nacelle]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/msi-gf65-15-6-144hz-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i5-nvidia-geforce-rtx3060-512gb-ssd-8gb-memory-black/6456144.p?skuId=6456144

I'm guessing the battery life is bad and you'll need a cooling pad for either one

[heady turtle]

Nah you won't need a cooling pad

If you have a stand of any sort that will be just as good and helps with posture anyway

[keen nacelle]

Wait

Do some mobile 3060s have 6gb?

https://www.newegg.com/p/2WC-003C-00040

[cerulean rover]

3060 mobile are all 6gb afaik

[tribal raft]

Basically, the 5 things I want are, 2 extra monitors extra, 16gb of ram, 1tb+ of storage, and a 1650 or better

Wait

That’s 4

Lol

[keen nacelle]

External drive is always a thing

Were any of those options I linked decent?

[heady turtle]

Then you should go with the prebuilts i sent imo, as laptops are never gonna be as good as desktop equivalent. Unless you needa travel

[tribal raft]

yes i have to travel for college

[heady turtle]

Thought the tuf one was decent but 50 over their budget i think

[heady turtle]

Ahh okay

[tribal raft]

and I don’t think letting a person THROW my pc on a conveyer belt

[heady turtle]

That's fair yeah

You said you weren't gonna be traveling much so that's why i mentioned it

[tribal raft]

This with a pc

Not a good idea lol

Shoot

It’s not the gif

What did I find lol
